EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a funerary altar from ancient Rome. The altar, dedicated to Julia Victoria who tragically passed away at the tender age of 10 years and 5 months, serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life during Roman civilization in the 1st century A. D. The exquisite craftsmanship is evident in this bas relief sculpture, depicting birds perched on a bay tree. Each feather and leaf is meticulously carved, bringing forth an astonishing level of realism. These avian figures symbolize both freedom and transcendence, perhaps offering solace to young Julia's departed soul. Preserved indoors for centuries, this archaeological artifact stands as a testament to the artistic prowess and cultural significance of ancient Rome. It evokes memories of a bygone era when death was an ever-present part of life. As we gaze upon this vertical composition devoid of human presence, we are transported back in time to witness the profound reverence that Romans held for their deceased loved ones. This artwork not only honors Julia Victoria but also provides us with invaluable insights into Roman beliefs surrounding mortality. Dating back to approximately the 1st century during the imperial age, this remarkable piece invites contemplation about our own mortality while marveling at its timeless beauty. Let us cherish such relics from antiquity that continue to captivate our imagination and connect us with civilizations long gone.
